I remember buying pop beads for my daughter. Like most things, they were tossed when she grew up & needed to get rid of things. I did find some pop beads for my granddaughters a year or 2 ago. They love them as much now as my daughter did when she was little. What memories are brought back by this thread.

No, I never used the spoolies, but I knew a couple of girls I went to school with that did. I used the mesh and magnetic rollers and slept on them, I got so use to sleeping in them they never bothered me.......Michele

I used to love to sit and peel the pearl coating off them when I was in study hall. Should have been studying, and would have had the beads still. Oh, the things we threw out that we wished we still had.

I have 5 brothers and no sisters and way back when I had pop beads and they were like real pearls to me. My brothers were not allowed to touch. But I did get teased. Thanks for the memory

I sort of remember these.

What wonderful memories. I had the light pink pop beads. The poodle skirt. Wonderful times. Just like on happy days.
I must be old too.

What about Shirley Temple dolls? I still have mine.

Oh yes..do I remember those!! I can't believe I slept in those every night.....I think my head still has dents from using them so much!!!!!

Also...love hearing about all the penny candies from the 50's.
Does ANYONE remember this one??...........it was a mini silver tart pan (really tiny ) that came with a mini spoon and it was filled with chocolat, vanilla or strawberry cream that you scrapped out and ate with this mini spoon and the fun part was trying to get the cream out of all the little grooves of the pan...they cost 1 cent!!! I don't know what they were called.

I never got a Shirley Temple doll, actually, I always wanted one of those little chalk dollies that weren't caucasian. I thought they were adorble, still do. I've still got a set of tiny little plastic dolls that mom sent in labels for (can't remember the product). They have those open/close eyes and moveable limbs....rubber band kind. They are ratty, I think they represented different nations.
But, we kept them. And I have one preteen dolly but I don't remember what she is called. Could look it up on ebay,that is a great source for antiques! I broke my addiction to ebay when I found this board. This one is much better!

I remember most of the things that have been mentioned, but I had forgotten about spoolies, my mother used to put my hair on them when I was little, I played with them just to watch them pop up when you pushed them down. I had an older sister, so I remember alot about the late 50's and early 60's. She used to listen to Rock n Roll when that is what it really was, not like some of the music today.
Some one mentioned Roy Rogers, I heard where RF Television is bringing Trigger and Roys' dog, Bullet(they are stuffed) on a tour around the country. They are supposed to stop in Portsmouth, OH, Roy Rogers' birthplace. I don't know the dates though.


Thanks for taking me down memory lane.
